Kirk is expected in the northwest of France, and in the northwest of Spain. Citizens abroad are urged to register in the Tawajudi service. Citizens abroad can also contact 0097180024 or 0097180044444 for emergency cases.
The current track and intensity of Storm Kirk is still uncertain, but recent models suggest Kirk will run into northern France, bringing heavy rain and strong damaging winds, perhaps as far south as northern Spain.
Other models suggest that Storm Kirk may develop further inland, and if that were to occur, it would likely have a significant impact on Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Germany. Therefore, it would appear that much of Europe may get more than its fair share of bad weather, with Wednesday October 9 and Thursday October 10, being the most likely days for the storm to hit, if indeed it does.
At its peak, Hurricane Kirk was a Category 4 hurricane and has been named the official 11th storm of the US hurricane season. It brought with it extremely strong winds of 145 mph and is deemed the strongest hurricane this late in the calendar year since Hurricane Iota in 2020. Moreover, it is already the third Category 4-5 Atlantic hurricane this year alongside Hurricane Beryl and Hurricane Helene.
